Kyle Wasserberger, MS, CSCS
I am currently a doctoral student in the Sports Medicine & Movement Laboratory1 at Auburn University researching mechanisms driving injury risk and performance in sport with an emphasis on baseball and softball players.
I am looking for a position that allows me to continue searching for the best ways to reduce the risk of injury and maximize athletic performance while collaborating with people across biomechanics, strength & conditioning, rehabilitation, & athlete development.
